BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry
today enthusiastically recognized the return of Majority Whip Steve Scalise to
the U.S. House Floor:

“It is truly a miracle to see Majority Whip, and my good
friend, Steve Scalise return to the House Floor today. Witnessing his
triumphant return took us all back to that emotional and terrifying morning in
June when he was shot while practicing for the annual Congressional baseball
game, an event Steve cherished. As he said this morning in his address, the
Capitol Police officers who rushed to his aid that day were heroes – saving his
life and undoubtedly the lives of many others. The Capitol Police work
tirelessly to keep all members of Congress safe and as a former Congressman, I
am grateful for their service. Steve’s message of faith presented on the House
Floor today is important for all Americans regardless of religion, political
party, or background. Steve’s will to live, his strong faith in God, the
selflessness of the Capitol Police, and the prayers of people across the world
carried him through. I look forward to following Steve as he continues to be a
ferocious leader for Louisiana and our country.”
